Rules, Eligibility and Restrictions

Donated product will be distributed under this program to qualifying organizations only, not to individuals.

Eligible organizations may request one donation of Cisco products per fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) with administrative fees totaling up to $1,500.

This donation is available only to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) designation.

This donation is not available to organizations in U.S. territories.

Affiliates of a national organization (such as the YMCA and the American Red Cross) that has more than 20 locations (even if those affiliates are considered separate entities and are not funded by the national organization) are not eligible for Cisco donations.

After the TechSoup request process is complete, the TechSoup Cisco account management team might request additional information to verify that the organization matches the Cisco philanthropy guidelines. Cisco reserves the right to deny any donation request at any time. TechSoup will not process payments for denied requests and will return submitted checks to the requesting organization.

Cisco requests may not include non-Cisco item requests. Any non-Cisco items must be requested separately so they are not subject to the Cisco processing delay.

Eligibility:

To be eligible for a Cisco donation, an organization must have an annual budget of no more than $10 million (your organization's most recent total revenue as reported on your IRS 990 or other tax form), have a unique U.S. Employer Identification Number (EIN), and fall within one of the Cisco-approved nonprofit categories listed below.

Direct-service 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that primarily serve economically disadvantaged people are eligible to receive Cisco donations. Please make sure that your organization's primary mission and services correspond to one of the following organizational types:

The following organizations are not eligible to receive Cisco donations:

Organizations that provide care and housing for the aged, even if they were previously eligible

Faith-based organizations. However, organizations whose primary mission is nonreligous might be able to register with an organization type that is eligible for Cisco donations. See What TechSoup Offers Faith-Based Organizations for more information.

Legislative and political advocacy groups, such as Planned Parenthood organizations

Youth services organizations other than those listed above for job training and literacy support to underserved populations

Inner city or community organizations, except for community service organizations

Schools and scholarships: public schools or school systems; private schools; charter schools; school foundations; booster clubs or other fundraising organizations affiliated with particular schools; colleges; universities; scholarships or stipend programs of any kind

Charities that offer Cisco Networking Academy training programs — even if they were previously accepted for Cisco grants — and those who instruct Networking Academy curriculum as a single or separate component of their overall mission or services

All Cisco products include five years of Cisco SMARTnet service and support on both hardware and software. Three weeks after your donation has arrived in its entirety, your SMARTnet contract number will be available on the Donation Request History page in your TechSoup account. After that coverage expires, donation recipients are strongly encouraged to renew their SMARTnet service and support agreement annually, for as long as they own the equipment or until that equipment is declared end of life (EOL) and no longer supported by Cisco.

Grants that are donated within three months of a sale are not considered as a donation by the IRS; instead, the IRS considers these products an additional discount to the sale. Therefore, TechSoup donations cannot be given to organizations that have purchased Cisco equipment within the last three months or that plan to purchase Cisco equipment within the next three months. TechSoup donations done in conjunction with a Cisco sale are not allowed.

Requests may be partially fulfilled: Due to the nature of the network design, product availability, and fiscal year schedules, all product donations are subject to change or delay without notice. Cisco reserves the right to substitute functionally equivalent products for any request.

Recipient organizations must be willing and able to provide information to Cisco for the purposes of measuring the effectiveness of the donation program or creating a case study or testimonial on this program.
